Does Melodics Actually Work? 2020 Review

[@chinmaysharma72]

Yo! Thanks for this video bruvv..most informative video on melodics out there.

[@sihargreaves]

Siiiiick. Thanks for watching

[@krzemian]

Thanks, I came for 9:25 exactly: being curious if it transfers to real musical performance or rather stays as a game skill only.

[@sihargreaves]

Ya dude, it certainly helps a bit with muscle memory. Try and practice without the screen as well though so you train your ears and not just your eyes.

[@kiillabytez]

It also builds timing and note recognition.

[@kiillabytez]

@@sihargreaves There is a memory mode that works like this: Every time you play a perfect note the screen dims a bit. Keep playing perfect, and the screen is blank with a flashing indicator every 4 perfect notes. So you learn which keys play which notes as well.

[@kiillabytez]

@Paul Kim Yeah. Turn off the monitor, or if on laptop, close the lid. Or you could just quit looking at the screen. I don't understand your question.

[@kiillabytez]

@Paul Kim Don't know. You have to know where the notes are first, right? Get that part down then play with your eyes closed. It's not that complicated.

Good review mate, i completely forgot about this app when I was going to get into finger drumming. I’m going to download it and give it a go.

[@sihargreaves]

Cheers man. I'm still going strong on it! Deffo give it a shot it's worth it.

[@luchito851]

You have one of the best intros i have seen!!!

[@sihargreaves]

Ah cheers man. I don't even use it any more haha, it's too long for KZbin hehe

[@danieljclark5922]

What is the drum machine at 0:35 ? It's def not an Ableton Push as listed in the video description. Maybe a MIDI Fighter 3D? If that's right, how does velocity work on those - how many different identifiable volume levels can you get out of a drum hit?

[@sihargreaves]

Ya it's a Midi Fighter 3D by DJ Techtools. There's actually no velocity on it at all. For the finger drumming I do I don't necessarily mind that).

[@2lazy4dis]

Great review brotha, i'm going to try it out i think.

[@sihargreaves]

Deffo worth a try!

[@YeahSorryAboutThat]

Watch the first few seconds with auto-generated captions on 😂

[@sihargreaves]

uh oh. lols. Not a word I'm against saying though! 😏

[@simus35]

the big problem with melodics for me is the way they did the interface for drum player. I would prefer the way they did for the piano and see the drum( that we can configure they way our drum look and see the note going down at the right place) because the interface for drummer look more for a beat maker and not for learning drum. if someone know a learning software that look like the way i just explain to learning drum tell me the name and the link please.

[@SaraScruton]

Good review :) Thank you!

[@sihargreaves]

My pleasure!

[@joantonio6331]

I tried it today and I noticed a slight latency. And to not get the habit of watching at the screen, I just close my eyes. I paid for one month and if I like it will get the annually

[@banjocat8046]

You practicing in the bathtub is really what I think I am missing here to get better. Thanks.

[@sihargreaves]

Haha, yeah practice makes better.

[@SynergyOfTwo]

thumbs up for the Daft Punk poster in background

[@sihargreaves]

Ha good spot, I've not spotted and looked at that for ages... Still a dope poster!

[@CheerstoTravels]

great review! thank you!

[@sihargreaves]

My pleasure!

[@Garethbellamy]

thank you, honest straight forward review, helped me make a decision whether to subscribe or not

[@sihargreaves]

Nice one man, good luck with it! Gotta commit to actually practicing is the hard bit haha

[@PianoHeal]

Nice review ❤️🎹🎶😊

[@sihargreaves]

Thanks!

[@uniworkhorse]

At last, a non sponsored or affiliated review

[@sihargreaves]

Hope it was useful 😁

[@uniworkhorse]

@@sihargreaves yes sir, this gave some good insights! Perhaps I'll buy a subscription and review it myself

[@SidMercutio]

funny he said it slows down on his laptop . I saw him using a MacBook but the interface for the CPU when it was slowing down was windows lol

[@sihargreaves]

ahha, well spotted. I actually do my screen caps and video editing on my windows PC. Screen recordings do add in an extra layer of demand on your computer so it will appear even slower. I've deffo noticed it more on my Macbook even without screen caps though but its a less powerful computer so that's expected.

[@kmt3809]

yep lagging is true on laptop

[@sihargreaves]

Yeah it pretty resource intensive sometimes for whatever reason

[@yol_n]

Man your voice is really low I can barely understand anything 😭

[@sihargreaves]

Heh sorry my man, I made this a while ago now and didn't know what I was doing with audio so much.

[@agoogleuser3787]

Melodics. Broken overpriced garbage.

[@sihargreaves]

Heh, ouch!

[@itsrelativ3967]

Then what do you suggest then???

[@Luke-Nightingale]

Come on m8! The beds not meant for that sort of banging : D

[@sihargreaves]

😂

[@Toastedwheat]

bruh get ur audio right

[@sihargreaves]

Didn't think it was that bad. Got a new mic now which certainly helps.

[@Anthony-xi3gm]

@@sihargreaves audio is fine
